About This Quiz

Grocery shopping- whether you like to do it or not, it's something we all need to do if we want to have food in our homes. Walking through each aisle every week with a cart, looking for things we might need is just a necessary part of life. And although there are times it can be quite enjoyable, most times it's not. But we think we've found the solution. How would you like to go on a virtual grocery shopping trip (you don't have to lift any heavy items, tell your child to get out of the cart or pay any money!)?

We want you to tell us about your budget, pick out some fruits and vegetables and tell us what kind of oil you usually get. We want you to tell us what kind of water and milk you like to drink, which brand of potato chips is the tastiest and what kind of cereal you need to restock.

In return, we'll tell you something! We'll tell you which foreign (and maybe weird) snack food you need to pick up at your grocery store -- in real life, of course! Are you ready to starting munching on something new? Then let's get started!
